In this

PSG

leather embroidered with

the gold of oil

, nothing is as longed for as the

European Cup

, the final point of the Arab conquest of continental football that began a decade ago.

Ramos, Messi, Verratti, Achraf, Marquinhos, Donnarumma, Neymar, Mbappé

... Nothing is enough because

none is enough

, as was demonstrated again tonight in

Munich

, where

Bayern

, the colossus, confirmed the fifth elimination of the Gauls in eighth in the last eight years.

Bayern was the same Bayern that beat him in the

2020 final

, smart and solid.

A Bayern more global than German.

Somewhat weak in defense, stellar in the midfield owned by

Goretzka and Kimmich

, with

Musiala

as loose verse and two bands,

Davies and Coman

, accelerating for shots from

Müller and Choupo-Moting

, executor.

Yes it was enough.

Opposite,

PSG without Neymar

, injured.

A PSG with three centrals for

Achraf and Mendes

to fly , with three midfielders like Vitinha, Verratti and Fabian, with the '10',

Messi

, and with an

Mbappé

in space, an island, expecting a lot and proposing little.

At the beginning, the ball chose the feet of the French midfield, who won possession due to the need for a goal that would tie Coman's in the first leg.

Nagelsmann

's Bayern

preferred to wait, attentive, electric with the ball when Musiala had it.

PSG's dominance only became an opportunity when the leather went through Messi or Mbappé.

Logic, of course.

He was able to get ahead of a ball from Fabian into the space of Mendes, who left it behind for Messi as Jordi Alba did so many times.

The Argentine,

prisoner of the years

, took too long and Davies arrived in time to avoid the 0-1.

It was minute 24 and the occasion broke the respect of the beginning.

Bayern, aware that they might have to score a goal to survive, stretched out against the French threat.

Musiala, fine, dribbler and fast

, tested Donnarumma, and a few minutes later

De Ligt

changed the cape with Davies and appeared on the goal line to avoid

Vitinha

's goal , who had taken advantage of a Sommer error and had stayed only before the German networks.

It was his great choice.

FRANCK FIFEAFP

Messi and Mbappé, nonexistent

The break paused the game, but in the return the verticality was maintained.

And there Bayern smelled the weakness of PSG, weighed down by

Marquinhos' injury

.

In minute 51, Musiala drew a precise cross to the head of

Choupo-Moting , who brushed the ball on goal, although it was canceled by

Müller

's shot attempt

,

offside

.

The possibility of 1-0 made Bayern great, with all that that means in the European Cup.

He did not need much more, just wait for the

error of a PSG

with more fear than football, in which its stars faded with the minutes.

In minute 60,

Verratti

relied on a ball out of his own area and

Goretzka

he stole his wallet and the Champions League, handing the ball over to Choupo-Moting so that he could beat Donnarumma.

Outside of Europe, two goals from salvation, PSG entrusted itself to the greatness of

Ramos

, who was on the verge of drawing a header in minute 63, and the talent of Mbappé, who tried to throw the team behind him for a few minutes, also insufficient, caged among the Bavarians.

Messi, under the excellent brand of Goretzka and Kimmich, disappeared when the game asked him the most.

It is

his second failure followed by him in Paris

, where he does not find the glory that did come to him in Qatar.

It sounds like a cliché, but the 1-0 draw hurt PSG, unable to even come close to an attempt to come back.

Beyond another header from

Ramos

, who else, in something that explains the

last decade of Madrid and PSG itself

, did not even have the greatness to try.

A team that hasn't been in France for weeks but that in their country saves their sensations with results, fooling themselves before jumping to Europe.

Gnabry's 2-0

,

close to extra time, credited his execution.

It will be the end of

Galtier

, questioned from the beginning, and we will see where the earthquake is headed.

Twelve months ago, the failure in the round of 16 seemed like the end of

Mbappé

's stage .

His looks towards the sky of the

Bernabéu

before that surreal game invited him to think about a future in white, but social pressure and Qatari money convinced him.

We will see now.

The same happens with

Messi

.
